  Notes	"He appears to have been one of the class called 'roving planets.' He lived in Bedford, Shirley, Stow, Harvard, Mass., Rindge, Jaffrey, N.H., and perhaps other places. Nov. 24, 1788, John Bellows of Walpole, N.H., and John Hubbard of New Ipswich, N.H., sold to Joseph Mead of Shirley, land in Rindge, N.H., with buildings thereon, which they obtained by judgment and execution against Jonathan Parker, Jr., late of Rindge. This land was situationed near the outlet of Pool Pond, West Rindge, and was bounded on the ol road leading from the present railroad crossing between Pool Pond and Contoocook Lake, to the house at present owned by Miss Mary Lee Ware. In 1793 Joseph Meads at Rindge, and Lucy, his wife, sold their Rindge farm, estimated at ninety acres to Jonas Faulkner of Bolton, and then, or soon after, came to Jaffrey." See notes for his son Joseph, with whom he purchased a farm on Mt. Monadnock in 1799. [1]
